Dear Gromacs users!


I want to perform constrained MD simulation of my protein with inclusion of some experimental restraints.


1) I found that genrest cpmmand could be usefull for the generation of the distance restrictions wich I could use in my constrined simulation.

Also in manual I've found that command like

genrestr -f b2ar.gro -disre -index.ndx -o test.itp

... which should read "-n index.ndx". Please get in the habit of copying and pasting actual command lines that you have observed to function like you think they do :-). Then you won't mis-type something sometime that will cause everyone to waste their time.


will produce some distance restricted matrix of the whole groups presented in the index.ndx file.

So how I could select to contrain selected residues within selected distance by means the index file? E.g I've manually point out 2 residues in index.ndx. I waant to preserve between that residues some desired distance D wich I've obtaine from the experimental data. How I could do it via genrestr and waht addition flags should I use for that purpose ?

You need an index file that has a group or groups that do what you want. Some details on the webpage. Since you know already the 2 atoms you care about, you can make it in a text editor faster than writing this email :-) Or indeed just constructing a [ distance_restraints ] section of the [ moleculetype ] in consultation with the information in chapters 4 and 5 faster still.



2) Is there any way to apply gradually the desired dist.resrs during MDrun to prevent some artifacts in my system wich would occur due to the rapid application of the dis.res ( e.g in cases where the conformation of the started structure and that wich I'd obtained fter application of the restrains are slightly different)?

Only by choosing a gentle restraint at first and picking a time interval at which to increase it.
